Stormgate he/him Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Is it possible Kaladin's father was a Feruchemist? I seem to recall that he sometimes wore glasses, sometimes didn't. Anyone with a book able to look for these clues? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntentAwesome Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) If I recall correctly, he only wore glasses in the surgery because they were too expensive and difficult to replace to risk using them all of the time. Yes: "He rarely got them out except for surgery, as they were too valuable to risk just wearing about. What if they were scratched or broken? Hearthstone was a large town, but its remote location in northern Alethkar would make replacing the spectacles difficult."

Vibronicgoose Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Good spot, but I think IntentAwesome has hit the nail on the head. Likewise, if there was ever a time to not be reducing your eyesight, it'll be in surgery. And Kaladin's father seems to be a caring chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
